I'm a nearly fifty mother of two with brownish /grey hair and freckles - everything else changes without notice! I live with my boyfriend and a huge stash of yarn. I have two pussy cats, Rascal and Shadow.
I really like green (I know I have more green clothes than anyone else I know lol ), I love mythological creatures but dragons are my favorite - I do have a soft spot for unicorns though. I've become fascinated with dragonflys - they are just so pretty.
I live in Oshawa, a fairly small city in Ontario Canada.
I have been taking a long break from swapping as I was trying to break into the Etsy selling world. It went ...okay but I really miss the joy of swapping so back I come :)
I enjoy most kinds of music but I'm not a fan of either rap or country and western. Thrash metal (aka screaming) isn't to my taste either. I'm partial to what is now referred to as "oldies" - music from the 70's and 80's.
I like Mercedes Lackey, Stephen King, Kathy Reichs, Jane Austen. I'll pretty much read anything other than Harlequins up to and including cereal boxes lol.
I'm gonna sound like a huge geek but I love the musicals - My Fair Lady, The King and I . Not a big fan of either horror or actions movies.
I like a good procedural - CSI, Cold Case, Forensic Files and I love documentaries.
I sew, knit (not very well as I'm teaching myself but I'm getting better lol), I've also taken up origami and I'm really enjoying that - it's amazing how much origami paper I've been using lol. I have a brand spankin new embroidery/sewing machine and I'm still learning how to use it. Crocheting has become a fav - I've been crocheting SackBoy dolls and trying to figure out if there is a market for selling them.
I've been trying out different paper crafts but I'm still not convinced about the scrapbooking thing (lol) and Postcrossing - I've been postcrossing for over a year now and the sheer joy of getting something in the mail that WASN'T a bill was what brought me here LOL.
swapcards and notecards for putting in swaps
dragons - anything dragon - really I like them all
Japanese stuff - what can I say - I love the kawaii.
Egypt/egyptian things are always welcome
yarn - any kind, any colour - I'll use it for something!
souvenirs from your country - keyrings, magnets even postcards - I love getting things from far away
I've been "upgrading" my charm bracelet so I'm looking for charms from different places
I received a really really cool tea that I loved it was cha Mate or Yerba Mate from South America and I would truly enjoy getting more of that
sour candy - I really love the Altoid Sours but no one seems to know where to get them :(
dragons
flavoured teas
silver (it's shiny lol)
green is my favorite colour but I like blue and purple as well - I'm more fond of the deeper shades than the neon LOL
lime and lemon are my most loved flavours
interesting fabrics - they don't need to be quilt shop quality - I'm not a fabric snob
cool beads
socks - colourful funky socks
Dislikes
flowery perfume - really bad on me - I have some kind of oddly acidic skin that not only turns silver black, it also makes a flower perfume smell like I've been having a good roll in a dumpster
religious stuff - I have no problem with other people's religions but please don't share - I don't try to get you to convert to worshiping the Invisible Pink Unicorn (Blessed be her Holy Hooves) so please give me the same courtesy.

Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on the "green" swap you sent to me. It's truly one of the best I've received since I've been here.
I just want to say a big
for the personnalized bag. It's so cute (it even fits my uniform colors). It will be great to carry little project around.

…for a wonderful time at yesterday’s meet-up, and for the cute crocheted butterfly and blue mini-tote bag. It was fun to finally meet!
Hugs, Terry
My sincerest condolences on the loss of your best friend, Royalblend. She was a lovely lady. Hugs, Terry
in a world of wonderful swappers you are the BEST! thank you for being my angel for the sock monkey swap. super sock monkey is wonderful on so many levels (his cute little arms, the mask and cape). i love him! i would gush more about how wonderful you are, but it could be embarrassing. Ü ali
Hi Leslie, thank you so much for the amazing sock monkey you sent me! I haven't owned one till now, he is absolutely adorable and I love him so much!!! Only problem is, my son ran off with him, my daughter wants one (17), and i need to find more sox and a pattern to start making them!! Thanks again, many hugs to you! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxHelen
for the cards for my grandma and I and the cute Chococat charm! It's my first kawaii charm! :D
How awesome are you?!!! I can't tell you how surprised and happy I was to come home from the hospital and recieve your package. The candy is delicious and I was so delighted to be able to take the booties back up to the babies when I went today. Thanks a million!
